If you noticed, that docker-compose.yml file contains databases - redis and postgres, while Dockerrun.aws.json does not. This is made because it will use the AWS Elastic Cache and AWS Relational Database services.
The reason behind using amazon services instead of dockerized images are: 1. Automatically creates and maintains instances for you 2. Easy to scale 3. Built-in logging and maintenance 4. Probably better security than what we can do 5. Easier to migrate off EB with 6. Automated backups and rollbacks
